The administrators at Cavy Compendium have formally corrected the inaccurate care guides and reinstated the accounts of the experienced owners they previously banned. We have requested a meeting with their editorial team to establish a formal fact-checking protocol for all future chinchilla content. Monitor the site pages to confirm this …
Misinformation about chinchillas is rampant on the web. This creates major issues for the established chinchilla community when it comes time to re-educate the previously misinformed, and in extreme cases can even lead to infighting in the chinchilla community.
Recently, the Staff of a high profile small animal site has shown they have no regard for proper chinchilla info on their site, and have even gone as far as to discredit information given by experienced chinchilla owners well respected in the chinchilla community(none of their staff has extensive prior chinchilla experience) and even ban them from posting on the site.
Please sign this petition to show the administration of WWW.CAVYCOMPENDIUM.COM that the chinchilla community does not tolerate the spread of misinformation in such blatant manors. This could be the first step in ending this MAJOR ONGOING problem.

The volume of support for this petition has gained substantial traction. I am currently compiling the documentation of inaccuracies from the site to present to their administration during our upcoming formal correspondence.

This site is a joke. Real breeders and rescues are being pushed out by people who watched one youtube video.

Typical. They dont care about the animals at all, only their egos. Experienced owners are banned for actually knowing what they are talking about?? Ridiculous.
